The numbers of Jedi,
however, have fallen since the last count, where the guardians of
the Galactic Republic actually outnumbered Muslims by nearly
300.

In the 2011 census, the number of Jedi registered in Torbay fell
from 800 to 500, only 21 behind the Muslims, of which there are
521.

Local newspapers speculate that the dramatic fall in Jedi numbers
may be due to a poor reception to the latest Star Wars film.

Torbay, however, is not the only UK town to register a
significant population of Jedi. The Census data revealed there
are over 180,000 wielders of the force across the country, as
well as 60,000 Pagans.

In Brighton, an extraordinary 1 percent of the population
describe themselves as Jedi knights.

The force is with Leeds, too, which has a high proportion of Jedi
warriors, with 2,812 knights in the district, the census said.

Other minority religions were also shown to hold a presence
across the country, with Bolsover in Derbyshire claiming to have
17 Satanists resident in the parish.

Back in Torbay, however, 63 percent of area’s 130,000 residents
describe themselves as Christian, and atheism comes in second,
with 35,535 affiliating to no religion.

Six people from the area said they had their “own belief
system,” while four claimed to be witches.

There have been no recent reports of inappropriate use of the
force, so it’s safe to assume Padawan training is going well.
